EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a chromolithograph depicting two women from the late 16th century, a Noblewoman from Naples and a Bourgeois Woman from Rome, taken from the miniature paintings in the Stammbuch (Friendship Book) of Andreas Heidenreich von Pidenegg. The Noblewoman from Naples, hailing from the city of Napoli, is elegantly dressed in a voluminous gown adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a ruff collar. She wears a tiara on her head, a fan in her hand, and a veil covering her hair. Her regal attire signifies her noble status and wealth. In contrast, the Bourgeois Woman from Rome is dressed in simpler clothing, with a high-necked blouse and a long, full skirt. Her hair is uncovered, and she holds a fan in her hand. Her appearance reflects the modest and practical lifestyle of the middle class during this era. This illustration, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier, is a stunning representation of the fashion and social hierarchy during the Middle Ages and the 16th century. The image was published in Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," which showcases the meticulous research and expertise of this German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The chromolithograph is a testament to the rich cultural and historical significance of this period, providing a glimpse into the lives of these two women from different social classes and backgrounds.
